Today I went to the Solar Decathalon and I found myself in the company of some of the most innovative and creative architects, engineers, and designer students around. What made this event even more enjoyable was that, along with hundreds of other people, I was able to admire and walk through the fruits of their labor. The SOLAR DECATHLON is an international competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy where 20 teams of college and university students compete to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered house. The other awesome twist to today was that I had at my disposal the expertise of two highly skilled carpenters to explain away all the things I didn't understand. Carpenter friends are the coolest. I'd love to post some pictures but since I was trampsing around in close quarters with a minimum of 20 other people most of my pictures were awkward.
